My wife started watching the new NBC series This Is Us, streaming, a couple of weeks ago. Although it’s a bit soapier than is usually within my comfort zone, I started watching it about a week ago. I recommend it.
I can’t tell you much about it without giving too much away. It’s peculiar in that respect.
I don’t think I’m giving too much away in telling you that I think it employs the most effective use of non-linear story-telling that has ever appeared on television. One of the implications of that is that you’ve got to pay attention. You can’t walk away and rejoin five minutes later. You will have missed something important.
I cannot binge-watch it. That would be too much for me.
I’ve heard good things about it from friends. Not sure I’ll watch as I watch very little TV these days.
